Best chicken fries EVER. I love this place; the customer service is extremely good. They know how to take care of the people. The establishment is clean as well.

Ended up here when our power was out. It was good. Tasty salty fries. We've been here a few times and it's a little different experience each time. The gal taking our order was brutally honest in her assessment of the various sauces. Maybe too honest and unforgiving and basically tried to steer us away from any sauce aside from 2 she kept recommending. Uh, interesting. Our food came out at wildly different times. Tenders came out pretty quick. Tender/wings meal quite a bit later. Burger long after. We waited to eat together so food got cold. Whatever, not the end of the world. But not ideal.

The pros - tasty chicken, tasty sauce. The con - timing. We are a family of four so we ordered a total of four things. First we got the first two, then a little later we got the third. A fair amount of time later the manager gestured toward our table and asked the girl who took our order something. She went back into the kitchen, came back out, and I overheard her say "it's nowhere near done." Finally, we got our fourth item. It's always fun inside - lots of chicken puns on the walls, very brightly lit, some occasionally strange but good music.

Haven't been here for a while and one kid was asking to go here for dinner so off we go. I'd like to say Chicken Shack read my review and adjusted the temp and time in the fryer for the tendies but it probably wasn't on account of my precious review. But the good news is someone somehow fixed it and the tendies were very tender and juicy and very well cooked. Breading and seasoning was very good as well. In fact I had a few bites of my tendies and wings without any sauce at all and found it to be right tasty. However, OMG the salt!!! Still as salty as the Dead Sea. Great music playing in the restaurant l, might have been about 1 or 2 notches too high on the volume though as it was slightly difficult to communicate with the guy at the register. I took my own advice and got 2 sauces for my #4 combo and had enough sauce this time. Oh - their fries are nicely battered and cooked as well. BUT DID I MENTION SALTY AF!!!

Sauces were amazing! Customer service was great. They use actual cloves of garlic on the fries which was everything for me. Chicken 8/10 sauces were 10/10 for sure. The vibe of the restaurant was pretty cool and authentic. Would recommend

I was surprised to see another chicken place open on Getwell. Especially across from two others. We decided to give this place a try. I must say for just opening recently it was very good. The chicken is also very different from the style of the other two. When we walked in we were greeted by the staff. The inside was very clean and nice. We grabbed a menu and sat down to look it over. You actually order from the counter and wall menu, but we wanted to look everything over (Not Rushed) They have alot of great options on the menu. This includes dry rubs and dipping sauces. Many different options for the chicken and the french fries. I like very hot/spicy food and my wife is more into sweet/salty. There were great options for both of us. I got the "Nashville Hot" wings and drumsticks. My fries were plain with no adds (Chili, Cheese, Garlic) You can choose dry rub and dipping sauce or toss the chicken and dip it in a choice sauce. My wife got the chicken wings (Not Tossed) and the Teriyaki dipping sauce. She got her fries covered in cheese. The chicken itself was cooked very crisp and tasted great. I was not impressed by the heat of the "Nashville Hot" It was barely mild to me. I love really hot food though. The owner gave me his hottest sauce (Damn Hot) to try dipping. That was on point! next time I will get mine tossed in that. My wife said she really enjoyed hers with the Teriyaki dipping sauce. We both loved the fries. They are the coated style fries cooked very crisps. We both enjoyed the food and will be back to try some of the other options. Final: The overall experience was great and I recommend giving them a try if you like this style food! If I had to pick some improvements. One would be to move the drink machine. Its way to close to the people ordering. I was trying to fix my drink with someones butt next to me ....lol.... The other thing would be to give dipping sauce cups based on amount of food. My wife had three wings and I had eight. We both received one small cup. They were nice enough to give me the hotter sauce but I think that many should get at least two of the ranch.

We stopped by the new chicken joint in Southaven today for lunch. It was pretty good too. It may look like your average neighborhood chicken joint, but this place is anything but that. They have several sauces to choose from, and the chicken tenders it self was delicious. Staff here is friendly and made great recommendations. My only recommendation is to ask the to either drizzle the sauce or put it on the side (because they are a little heavy handed on the sauce). They give you plenty of fries and I love the batter and seasonings they use on the French Fries. Don't let appearances fool you--the decor may be divey, but the tender are fantastic, I love the batter on the tenders. This place is perfect for groups or a casual lunch date. I know I'll certainly be back again, at least to try something different each time including the bone in / traditional wings. That' Garlic Parmesan sauce was very tempting too . And they also have funnel cake fries...
